Erection of a new single storey outbuilding at ground level with a green roof in the rear garden of the property and the relocation of the gates.

The committee received the report of the Head of Development Management, including the relevant planning history of the site and details of the responses to the application. 

The Development Management Team Leader (HN) explained that the application proposed the erection of a new single storey outbuilding at ground level with a green roof in the rear garden of the property and the relocation of the gates.

The Chair invited Truong Bui, the freeholder, to speak to the committee against the application.  Mr Bui expressed consternation that this application had been submitted to the council.  As the freeholder of the property, he was vehemently opposed to the proposed development.

Although the applicant had registered to speak, she was not present at the meeting.

The Chair invited comments from the committee.  Committee members advised that it was important to focus on the planning merits of the application.  These did not include consideration of the relationship between the leaseholder and the freeholder.

There followed a short discussion about the height of the proposed building.  The Head of Development Management advised that this would not be out of keeping with surrounding buildings and would not have a harmful impact.

The Chair moved the officer’s recommendation.
